Japan to cut soybean tariff in trade liberalization push
Kansan AP Japan plans to reduce tariffs on soybeans and soybean products as part of trade liberalization. Minister Yoshio Okawara said the cut will take effect after parliamentary approval, possibly early next year, and cited Japan's shrinking restricted import list from 177 items since 1963. He warned against continued import taxes like the 10 percent surtax, noting potential protectionist trends. Okawara spoke at the Future Farmers of America convention in Kansas City and planned tours of stockyards and the board of trade.
